The results from the precision
study are also shown in Tables 2 and 3. The percent of RSD ranged from
1.8 (for fructose) to 6.6% (for maltose) for the C-CAD method, and from
1.9 (for fructose) to 3.9% (for maltotriose) for the ELSD method. Although
the aerosol formation mechanism is the same for both detectors,
the C-CAD results were less precise for some analytes
